Sims Big Brother (Season 4)

The fourth season of Sims Big Brother premiered on February 10, 2017 and featured 14 houseguests as they vie to be the last houseguest standing and win the $250,000 cash prize.

The season was announced on August 12, 2016 as the first of two season renewals. Casting for the season opened on that day with the premiere of the third season and closed on October 14 along with the third season finale. Production on the season began in October 2016.

This was the first season to feature houseguests from previous seasons returning for another chance. Seven houseguests from the first three seasons joined the game tying in to the season's "past, present & future" theme.

The winner of season four was Kia after winning a 4-3 jury vote against Valorie. Sally won the Fan Favorite prize which was voted on via audience vote.

New Houseguests
On February 6, 2017, 14 houseguests were revealed, 7 of which were new houseguests and the other 7 were returning players from previous seasons.

Set Design and Theme
In season 4, the house layout was massively changed again. The house was given a "Past, Present, & Future" theme to tie in with the fact that seven houseguests from the past were coming back to compete again. The backyard, kitchen and have not room were given a "past" theme, the dining room and storage room were given a "present" theme, and the living room, Head of Household bedroom, Diary Room, and bathroom were given a "future" theme. The eviction interviews now took place in a staged set with a live studio audience directly outside the front door, though this caused inconvenience as the noise was noticeable to houseguests.

Twists
The theme for season 4 was "past, present & future." This was the first season to feature houseguests from previous seasons returning to play the game another time, as seven houseguests from the first three seasons came back for a second chance at the game. This season also brought back the have-not safety twist from season two.
